[Mono-dev] DllNotFoundException: libgtkembedmoz.so how to solve ?

[Alexandre Miguel Pedro Gomes]

On windows you probably just need to drop the .dll and/or .dll(s). In fact
you can can drop the .so and .dll in the same package enabling you to share
the same package both to windows and linux.

A problem can arrive *if* the .dll for mozilla in windows is a COM
component. I don't think it is, anyway, if you run into problems you might
have to issue a "regsvr32 path/to/dll" while installing your application.

I do not know how to do this... but you should find a way to reuse the
lastest mozilla components the user has installed. This is, you use this
approach as a fallback, but you should use the lastest .dll or .so if the
user has them you use them. Thas of course to avoid security problems and
make your packaging easier, because you'll need to keep updating the library
to keep updated and avoid any security flaws :)
